Several protesters were removed Saturday afternoon from the swearing-in ceremony of incoming Los Angeles City Councilwoman Traci Park, videos posted on social media show.
Park, who will represent Venice and other Westside neighborhoods, was giving a speech at her event at Loyola Marymount University when at least five protesters separately stood up and interrupted Park’s speech, according to videos posted by reporter Jon Peltz on Twitter. The protesters were escorted out of the event by police, and some were jostled by Park’s supporters.
Saturday’s protests continued a hot two days in L.A. politics. On Friday, City Councilman Kevin de León briefly appeared at a council meeting for the first time since mid-October, when fallout from a leaked racist audio tape roiled the city. De León was one of four people in the conversation that sparked widespread condemnation and calls to resign from office from President Biden, among others.
De León’s appearance triggered an uproar in council chambers, and Council President Paul Krekorian asked him to leave because three of De León’s colleagues would otherwise have left the dais and broken quorum, preventing the meeting from going forward.
